Can't Turn Down a Bonus? Donate it...

What would you do if your boss gave you a bonus but you knew other people in your organization were being laid off? Donate it to a great cause! Pass on the goodness, dodge all of the guilt.

A co-worker of someone in the family recently received a modest bonus for work this year following news that their company was also making cut backs. After all of the hubbub about bail out bonuses on Wall Street, it just didn't feel right to hold onto the unexpected bounty. The first reaction was to refuse the extra compensation. Having no luck that way, and knowing about Margy's life-saving bone marrow transplant, they did the only thing that felt right -- invested it in Margy's only shot at a cure. What a wonderful gesture! Thank you!!
